Determined to groom 21st-century teachers, the management of Greensprings Training College has perfected plans to offer free and discounted training on inclusive education for teachers in commemoration of the 2022 World Teachers’ Day.
Adebimpe Ajibola, head of Greensprings Training College, said the college will be organising the training to educate teachers and school owners on the strategies for becoming more inclusive teachers and schools, as well as having the skill to support children with special needs.
Speaking during a World Teachers’ Day radio talk show, Ajibola said many teachers neglect children with special needs due to their unique body physique and unusual learning behaviours.
“Our goal for this year’s World Teachers’ Day is to educate teachers and school owners on the strategies for supporting children with special needs and making their schools inclusive. We plan to achieve this goal by organising a seminar themed, ‘Every Learner Matters: Effective Teaching and Learning Strategies in an Inclusive School’,” she said.
